Bindi Irwin's boyfriend Chandler Powell experiences first crocodile jump: 'Can't wait for more'
Bindi Irwin's boyfriend, Chandler Powell, can cross one more thing off his bucket list!
The 19-year-old professional wakeboarder jumped a crocodile for the first time, while joining Bindi on her annual "Croc Trip" through the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve in Far North Queensland, Australia, on Wednesday.
"Cannot describe how excited I am to have jumped my first saltwater crocodile!!!" Powell wrote on Instagram, who was all smiles while holding down the giant aquatic reptile. "Stanley was 9 feet 10 inches long and was last caught in 2013. Blessed to be a part of this awesome work."
